The Bridge (Bron/Broen)

SUMMARY

-You're working late. -I'll find you.

It's Jens. We worked together. He blew his head off years ago.

His wife and child died in an accident. They went off the side.

-They took no fingerprints. -Saga thinks he's alive.

-Why is he doing this? -His family died in an accident.

He feels that there were made errors.

All that talk about opening people's eyes...was just talk?

Sometimes people need to hear something.

-So people want to be lied to? -Yes, Saga. Sometimes.

I'm Sebastian Sandstrod. Nice to meet you.

-Haven't you got any children? -I had a son. I got back on my feet.

-Mikaela was Jens' wife. -She wanted a divorce.

-She'd met someone else. -The man she met... It was me.

He knows it was you.

HELP!

I don't like lying to Hans. I haven't mentioned your affair with Mikaela.

When did we arrange that? We've never chatted online.

Do you remember Frida? It wasn't Frida.

-Let's go, Saga. -It's Jens.

He's not after the others. He's after you!

THE BRIDGE

EPISODE 10

-Wait here. -What's wrong?

-Where are the guards? -Maybe they're inside?

-They weren't supposed to go inside. -Call them. Go with him.

Saga?

August? Saga?

Martin? Come.

Yes, as quickly as you can. Good.

-The ambulance is on its way. -Saga?

-Don't say anything. -He... He's got August.

-Y...E... -Y, E.

-...5...7... -5, 7.

-Dark blue. -Dark blue.

YE57. Dark blue.

All units: We're looking for a dark blue car.

The registration number starts with YE57. I repeat: YE57.

-What's happened? -He... He's got August.

Where are we going?

-What are you going to do? -My son would have been 17 now.

His name was Rasmus.

-How old are you? -Almost 20.

You could have been friends. Just like your father and I.

Everything could have been different.

What are you going to do?

-To you? -Yes.

What did Martin do?

Is that what you call him? Martin? Not dad?

Does it matter?

Has everything you know ever turned out to be wrong?

People you think will help you, don't.

Authorities you think will protect you, don't.

Friends, or those you thought were friends, deceive you.

It's a shocking experience, quite an eye-opener.

-What did he do? -Is he a good father?

-He wants to be. -And it's the thought that counts?

He knows he's not perfect.

But he does his best.

How insightful of you.

-What did he do? -We're here.

Can't you let me go?

I don't understand!

Yes, it looks good.

The bullet in your side missed all vital organs.

Your blood values are normalizing.

You were lucky. Can you squeeze my fingers?

Can you squeeze a bit harder?

OK. Thank you.

The shoulder injuries need further examination.

That's not possible. I have to work.

You were shot. You lost a lot of blood.

-You said that my values are normal. -No, they're normalizing.

-It's been a huge strain on the body. -I feel fine.

Because of your adrenaline and my painkillers. You're staying.

Europol and Interpol are notified. He's in the papers and on TV.

-Martin? Are you listening? -Yes.

Has your team found anything in the basement?

No, but we've moved everything to Malmö.

-And the number plate? -They're working on it. Excuse me.

I have to do something. The waiting is driving me crazy.

Even if we knew what to do, your judgement is impaired.

Don't take me off the case! I'll quit and chase the bastard anyway!

That was Saga.

-How is she? -Fine. She wants me to come.

-Hi. How are you doing? -Fine. I had blood and painkillers.

The left arm is injured, but no vital organs.

-But how do you feel? -Fine.

-I brought some of Mette's clothes. -Good.

Can you help me with the socks?

-Will the doctors discharge you? -No.

-Did they say that they can't? -Yes. And the registration number?

-They're on it. Shouldn't you stay? -He's got August.

-Do you know where he is? -No, but he's alive.

-How do you know? -He wants Martin to suffer as he did.

That's why he didn't shoot August.

-Why does Martin need to suffer? -Do the zip up as well.

-Do you think he'll kill August? -Eventually. Did you drive here?

Why is he doing this, Martin? You were friends.

Why is he doing this to us?

Because I slept with Mikaela.

With his wife?

-Did you sleep with his wife? -She was going to leave him.

They had a row.

She left, she drove on to the bridge. They had the accident.

You practically lived with him afterwards.

He didn't know. Much later he discovered that...

I'm...I'm so sorry, Mette.

I'm really...

I'm really sorry about all you've been through.

-Mette, I'm really sorry. -Let's focus on August for now.

-Hello? -Saga?

-Hi. -Are you OK?

Yes, I've had blood and painkillers. It hurts, but I'm fine.

You were lucky, it could've gone much worse.

-Shall we go? -Yes.

-You're bleeding. -Yes, I know.

Everything's falling apart. It's my fault.

Yes, you seem to think so.

- I think she'll leave me. -Mette?

You should've seen her when I told her I slept with Mikaela.

-You weren't together. -No, that's not it.

She sees new sides to my character.

-Then why did you tell her? -I had to.

He locked her and the children up with a grenade. She has to know why.

What if Jens decided to do everything when he read the notebooks?

-You don't know that. -Even I let him down.

Can you check that one? No connection here either.

-Hi. How are you? -Fine. What's new?

-Well, it's an awful lot. -Yes. What have you found out?

It's not always easy to see the relevance.

This is connected to the bridge, the power cut and the women there.

Over there we've got the homeless, maps and poison.

The schizophrenics and the gang in Nørrebro.

The school bus and the companies that used child labour.

This is stuff we haven't tied to the five problems yet.

It's mostly maps, but there are also print-outs-

-time tables, photos, formulas, drawings...

We don't know what's relevant. Maybe he decided against things.

He planned something for August. Focus on this pile.

I've found the cars. 103 starting with YE57 are dark blue.

None reported stolen. 82 in Jylland and Fyn.

The owners say they're there.

21 in Sjælland and 15 in Copenhagen.

-None are reported stolen. -Let's start with Copenhagen.

Hang on, let me have a look. Anne?

That parking ticket... Yes, here it is.

It was issued the day before everything started.

Let's see...

There. Margrethe Helstad.

-Bakkegårds Allé, Copenhagen. - I know the way.

Yes, he was here a few weeks ago.

-To see Margrethe Helstad? -He's here a few times a year.

-Why? -They're related. A nephew, I think.

It's early, but we need to talk to her.

Yes, of course. She doesn't sleep much.

-Good morning. You've got visitors. -Saga Norén, Malmö County Police.

The police wants to ask you something.

-Right. -How come you know this man?

He's here sometimes. He visits.

We know, but why does he come here?

-He's my father. -No, he isn't.

Who are you?

This is a home for the senile. Margrethe's case is severe.

Does anyone else know something about them?

-I'm afraid not. I don't think so. -Thank you.

Jens wants to take an eye for an eye. How exactly did his son die?

He was in the car. He died in the crash or drowned.

-Navid. -Issue a bulletin about the car.

That was Saga. We'll issue a bulletin about the car.

Yes. Yes.

Fine. We have to leave, Saga.

We're leaving now. Bye. They've found the car.

-Where? -Outside of Bispebjerg cemetery.

-Mikaela is buried here. -And the son?

-He was never found. -He must have been declared dead.

-Have you found anything? -No.

-Have you checked the trunk? -Not yet.

Martin? Saga? Over here.

-It's Lillian. Yes. -What is this?

The gravedigger's on his way.

Yes.

-It's piled on top. -Someone's at Sandstrod's house.

-Who? -We don't know, they caught him.

-It's me again. -Martin, we shouldn't go there.

He knows that everything's under surveillance.

-We can talk to the guy. -He can't help us.

It's another red herring, like this. He wants to work undisturbed.

What then?

-Saga Norén. -Hi. Margrethe is his mother.

-Repeat that. -Margrethe is his mother.

-Jens', or Sebastian's. -His parents are dead.

His adoptive parents are. He found her through the adoption agency.

-Where did she live? -22 Engmosevej.

-Who's the current owner? -Hang on.

It's still her, but no one seems to live there.

-What are you doing? -What if we don't find anything?

-We'll keep searching. Come on. -But where?

We hadn't spoken for years, and then he moved in.

I left him when he was a child. We spoke about going away.
